The UI Branding Bar provides a top bar to your Drupal 8 website. This module is owned by the Office of Strategic Communications (OSC) and is managed by Information Technology Services (ITS).
The module has been built to be compatibile with all modern browsers, as well as older versions of Internet Explorer.
Enable the module as usual.
Settings for the module can be found when logged into your site at admin/config/system/uiowa-bar
Many sites previously used some of the branding bar space for call to action links or links back to their original unit. This function still allows these options, but presented in a consistent way across all sites.
This was removed as it was more confusing to users than helpful.
All information on a web site is automatically copyrighted, so you do not need to have it on your site. If you would like it, feel free to include it in your site footer.
The privacy statement linked off the home page covers all sites under uiowa.edu, however you may consider adding it to your site footer as well.
This module adds a Google Tag Manager code to the site that is managed at the University level. This allows for tracking traffic across all sites using this module. It is meant to handle the situation where a site did not install Google Analytics and needs information about their site, however it may also be used to gather data about how traffic flows across the University web sites.
The Google Analytics within the Google Tag Manager container should not impact any site specific Google Analytics code if properly implemented.
